The entries are all in for the 2017 Young Filmmakers Contest. They came from as far away as California, Florida and New Jersey, the filmmakers taking on the environmental topics of our times: local food, water waste, wildlife protection, and biking to save energy.
Jurors are now reviewing the entries, taking into consideration the creativity, research solution-oriented messages of each. Winners will be announced in early February and will premiere at the Young Filmmakers Contest: Winner Screenings + Awards at 3 p.m., Sat., March 4, at Columbia College Chicago, Music Center, 1014 S. Michigan Ave.
